Traveler reviews
Great Value Tour
Excellent guide who gave enough information to keep the group interested and was always able to answer additional questions. The group was not too large and the information provided beforehand was very useful
A fantastic experience!!!...
A fantastic experience!!! Highly suggest!! Our guide was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. I do not suggest doing the acropolis on your own.
Insightful and eye opening
I had always wanted to visit Athens and in particular the Accropolis since I was very young. I had always loved history, particularly ancient history and visiting the site did not disappoint. It was quite a surreal feeling to be standing in a site that has stood for two and a half thousand years. Do book in advance and go for an early time slot as crowds do arrive early. It was crowded as you would expect, however we did manage to walk around relatively in peace, without being overwhelmed. Our tour guide Natasha was fantastic, what I appreciated was the fact that she is a native Athenian, made the tour more real and memorable. I could tell how passionate she was of both her city's and country's history and heritage. Overall, the tour was very enjoyable and insightful. It made me love Greek history even more...Will definitely be returning to Athens and will most definitely visit the Accropolis again. Highly recommend.
Amazing place.
It can get very windy. Hair gets messy fast. Bring a hairband. (Or a hoodie) Our guide was very knowledgeable. Very easy to listen to history from him.
Another great Viator tour. Don't go to the Acropolis without it.
The whole reservation-check-in-tour experience was flawless. Easy to find the location of where to meet the group, instructions and reminders were sent frequently. Each attendee is given an individual headset so you can easily hear the tour guide and not have to jockey to be close by to hear. I could walk a little away from the group and still hear her speaking. The historical review went on a bit long, but was still very interesting. I had done quite a bit of research myself so I was familiar with a lot of the information - but for those that did not - it must have be very helpful. I would just cut the first stop by at least 5 minutes, it felt like we were standing for a long time. We had enough time to see each monument and the tour guide had great enthusiasm and answer all questions clearly. We added the museum tour which was fantastic. It is helpful to have pieces highlighted with the overall historical and art references. This tour felt like a base for our other museum tours. The time spent in the museum was perfect. I highly recommend Viator tours. We have not yet had one experience that was bad.
